market breakfast

We love heading down to the farmer’s market early on the weekends to buy the bulk of our fruit, vegetables, meat and eggs for the week ahead. Buying directly from the farmer instead of through the big supermarkets means the produce is fresh, we’re keeping our carbon footprint local and it generally hurts the wallet a little less than usual. The thing we love most about our market visits is cooking up a feast when we get home with all the gorgeous produce we’ve just purchased. These are some of our breakfast favourites…Boiled egg and spinach on toast Ingredients:
